My system is just a AMD XP2000+ 1.6gHz CPU with 1GB of RAM, running on Windows.
I have a tiny 720x24pN clip and I'm using Avid. I got it loaded in the bin, I got it in the Sequence, confirming that the files are the same res/framerate as the Avid project. But, no matter what I do:
+ If I hit play on either the raw clips or the sequence, I almost immediately get the following error:
Exception: DecompStream::GetFinishedFram Corrup frame detected in [file] frame [whatever frame the now line is on] of sequence error codec 38
+ The thumbnails for the clips are black, shuffling around in the timeline populates no preview in the monitors
+ The best result I've gotten out of trying to Export the movies, and I've tried just about every setting, are large .movs that QuickTime will not play. (It loads, but the playback controls are all greyed out.)
Additionally:
+ The P2 Viewer from Panasonic at least gets the file metadata and the thumbnails show the real 1st frames of the MXF files. However, hitting play does nothing. It acts like it's loading the whole time, and the video screen stays black. -- Same thing if I copy the whole P2 tree into a folder and try using a "Virtual p2" pointer for playback.
+ Cineform HDLink, when attempting to convert anything I've shot into its intermediate format (a desperate move to be sure), produces two 0x80004005 "Unspecified error"s and does nothing.
Needless to say, I am not amused. I suspect that my specs are just too weak to do anything with the footage. I have not seen a single frame of footage that I have shot on this camera on my computer except for the tiny thumbnails of the first frame that the P2 viewer was able to give me.
Anyone with words of advice? Is my PC just too weaksauce to handle this stuff, or what?
